[edit] Intelligence women

The comment about the rich women being intelligence agents is ridiculous.

• Even if they were all employed as spies on their mates, the likelihood that they would need weapons training is non-sensical. Remember, their domestic partners are pampered business executives, not James Bond nor Red Grant. Plenty of corporate espionage can happen without any physical violence.
• If they were all spies with such training, why would multiple agents blow their cover at the party?

Much simpler explanations of the scene:

• a bored and perverse society that needs violence and destruction to stay entertained (already stated in the article).
• pleasure unit women venting out their sublimated anger over their imposed roles in this heartless society.

For either reason, the scene would have been much less effective if all of the pistol shots hit the ground. Dyl 01:21, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of non-cited items

There was a long part removed about the end of the last game. It was removed for no reference citing. Would this particular thing HAVE to be cited? How could opinions be cited? Jimmylogan0916 04:42, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

I believe that opinions are not desired in a encyclopedic article. See WP:NOT, the section on "Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought". If you can cite (i.e. verifiable) claims to the opinion, that may be worthy of inclusion.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Rollerball-poster02.jpg

Image:Rollerball-poster02.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 07:35, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Other media

I remember there being a comic on the same theme, but with ice skates instead of roller skates. Anyone else seen it? 83.250.197.97 20:41, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
